Great staff and cast (the one for the idiot delinquent is perfect). This can be one of the funniest anime of this summer if well done. It might be 2-cour since there is a lot of chapters and it has a lot of dialogues (a lot of monologue from saiki).

It will open on late Sunday/early Monday.

Noone mentioned it but looks like J.C.Staff will be a studio.

ah i see so its doing

The anime will have a "double broadcast." It will first air every Monday to Friday at 7:05 a.m. on TV Tokyo's Oha Suta program and then late-night as a five-episode compilation at 1:35 a.m. on TV Tokyo, TV Aichi, and TV Osaka. The anime's morning broadcast will premiere on July 4 while the late-night broadcast will premiere on July 11.

I wonder how which method streaming services will take.

[Stark700]

Funimation announced to stream the series.

No. It still airing in full 30 minutes but that's not until next week.

Thank god, I was so shocked to only see four and a half minute of Saiki. Would have been terrible for me to see it being reduced to such a short anime series.

[Mistyclear]

I see so the official airing is next week...phew*

[Diluc]

I am glad it's still going to 30 minute.
A shame if they done this in 5 format, this series is WSJ gag manga Gintama spiritual successor
They can milk this more in later future like Gintama.

Best comedy of the season so far. Wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be the best comedy of the year.

The episode felt a bit rushed in a few parts especially the bits where they compressed the low quality version short in there. It's much clearer now with proper animation what some scenes are—in the low quality short didnt realize he was using xray vision in the bathroom so thought them having no walls between toilets was part of the gag.

[R.LocK]

This was boring. I didn't like anyone in the cast, and the artwork is unappealing for my taste.

And since it is a comedy, it means an immediate drop.

[Gundamx]

Laugh so hard.
Poor Saiki.

And is it me or only Saiki see himself as cool guy?
(He have completely different look from other people point view)
